Powerful pedestrian stacker
January 1st 2007 The Atlet Alto PS pedestrian pallet transporter/stacker is a compact truck designed for extended work cycles in tight spaces in warehouses and production plants. Powered by a 1kW AC motor with a high capacity 230Ah battery, providing high travel speed, rapid acceleration and speedy fork lift and lower, the 1250kg capacity stacker is based on a P-Type chassis, the platform for the company's latest pallet transporters and low level order pickers. The Alto PS will stack loads to 3.5m, is just 800mm wide and 1898mm long, enabling it to work in very confined spaces. Four wheels afford a high degree of stability and are aided by Atlet's Friction Force system that ensures the drive wheel exerts optimum ground pressure under all conditions. Fork lift speed is reduced above 1.5m to give safe, accurate stacking, and the position of the ergonomically-designed tiller arm is said to enable the truck to be operated while the operator walks alongside it, with no danger of feet getting trapped. Steering is progressive with a tiller arm angle of just 70°, giving a 90° lock. These features are designed to minimise arm movement when driving the truck, thereby reducing the risk of strain to the operator's arms and wrists. The tiller arm has a back-lit LCD that displays battery status, hours worked, time and date, and fault warnings. A keypad provides PIN access to restrict use to authorised operators. The low chassis and clear view mast mean the operator has a good view of the entire truck, including its forks. More articles from Atlet Limited: |
